A Girl Can Dream...

From a Hollywood Reporter interview with Aaron Sorkin:

There's also a standing offer from [NBC] to reboot The West Wing, which Sorkin considers on occasion. When asked if he'd introduce a Trump-like figure in his fictional White House, he winces, arguing that the current president holds no appeal for him, fictional or otherwise. "Trump is exactly what he looks like: a really dumb guy with an observable psychiatric disorder," he says. Sorkin's preferred scenario, he tells me, would involve "Sterling K. Brown as the president, and there's some kind of jam, an emergency, a very delicate situation involving the threat of war or something, and [President] Bartlet [played by Martin Sheen], long since retired, is consulted in the way that Bill Clinton used to consult with Nixon." How he brings Allison Janney's C.J. Cregg or Bradley Whitford's Josh Lyman into the new scenario is where Sorkin gets stuck. 

“If I could think of a way of [reviving The West Wing] without it seeming like a Brady Bunch reunion, I would,” says Sorkin of his Emmy-drenched White House drama.

And one more thing (hint, hint, Aaron.) Brown is totally up for it.
